Summer Whites Party: Fashion Inspiration

When creating invitations for a Labor Day party, encourage guests to wear white to make it more festive. At our Summer Whites party hosted by popular fashion and entertaining expert Kelly Golightly, guests went one of two fabulous ways: garden-party chic or Gatsby glam. White shirts and slacks, cotton dresses, and stylish hats made for easy-breezy, timeless garden-party attire, while some guests opted to go full-on Gatsby glam with embellished, show-stopping white attire. Beaded frocks, sequins, layered draped pearl necklaces, glitter headbands (some guests fashioned their own by adhering crystals onto ribbon) and turbans took center stage.

Even babies and pooches got into the spirit with all-white ensembles and statement-making accessories (one glamorous pup wore her owner’s pearl necklace in lieu of a collar).Photos by Fred Baby
